Does anybody use Barramundi in aquaponics within the United States? I am curious if anybody knows of a supplier of fry/fingerlings for US, if there is even one at all.

One of the largest indoor RAS farms in the world is located in Turners Falls, Massachusetts and the only species they farm is Australia's native barramundi. They have a hatchery and 5 large grow out/grading tanks that have approx 35,000 barra per tank.

I doubt you could purchase fingerlings from them as I believe its primarily restaurant production.
